Food for Your: Ban on Blemishes
In the spirit of Notes from the Chair, but giving you new life through the magic that is food…
This week, Jolene Hart lists out her 3 favorite foods for fighting blemishes:
pumpkin seeds, kimchi and turmeric. See below for what makes each one necessary for your diet — your skin will be so much happier for it.
Pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds’ key ingredient — zinc — helps to fight breakouts by boosting immune function, the number one control over inflammation.
Kimchi.
Kimchi, a traditional Korean dish made of fermented vegetables, does wonders for your digestion which, in turn, affects complexion. The probiotics created in the fermentation process support optimal nutrient absorption and elimination, which will lead to clearer everything!
Turmeric.
Arguably a very potent and beneficial herb, turmeric — and its main compound curcumin — is key to reducing inflammation and provides exceptional antioxidant protection against future damage to your skin. *Note – turmeric also can leave potent stains, so be mindful of where you grate your fresh root. 😉
